It's nice to see my geriatric fantasy team doing well (go Jagr!) despite the fact that my beloved geriactric Penguins SUCK A FAT FUCKING COCK PLAY SOME DEFENSE ASSHOLES. 

I was tempted to buy Center Ice this year and am now happy I resisted that temptation.

This post makes me want to squeeze into my badass red jeans.

I liked hockey before. I like it now also, for completely different reasons.

Now, watching games is a much more emotional experience, especially with all the lead changes and charging comebacks - God Damnit Flyers, hold a damn lead, PLEASE.

Now, even the losses can still be fun to watch, like the 6-8 loss to Carolina. Also, being at the games is a whole new experience - that extra 4 feet may not seem like much on TV, but it is HUGE in person. The abundance of scoring and powerplays just makes things all the more intense - the OT win over the Panthers was sooooo worth the $90 for lower level seats.

The constant special teams play is starting to wear on me a bit, but I am really enjoying the season so far. Hopefully the players will learn how to avoid hooking and interference calls a bit to give more flow to the game.

The penalties are calming down. Players are learning a bit, and refs are starting to interpret better. What we need now is a fast review of each penalty upstairs to catch diving. That'd be just perfect.

Oh, and by the way - I've watched every Penguins game this season. They looked like an ECHL team for the first eight or nine. The two games before tonight, they looked like a pretty good NHL team. Tonight, they looked like a very good NHL team.

I'm expecting them to get hotter and hotter.

Unless, of course, Lemieux and Palffy get hurt and teams start concentrating on Crosby and frustrating him into a cold streak. Then, I suppose the goaltending could go dead cold.

That, of course, won't happen. Because they're my favourite team.

Gotta say I am digging the trade I made for Havlat. Wednesday was the first game of his I got to see- 4 goals. Not bad!

Of course, it's not your fault Brodeur got his knee skinned the same goddamn day the trade went through. But I'm sure you planned it that way.

They finally moved OLN to a non-shitty channel on my cable and the game looks SOOOOO much better. I don't know if this was a move across a lot of coverage areas, but I'd check on that if I were you guys. It went from barely coming in on channel 80, to a channel near ESPN with the same quality.

I THOUGHT I knew a lot about the game, but I've made some dumbass moves. I gotta admit though, I do prefer the H2H play better than the running total. I find I don't check my team nearly enough right now.

Oh well, after the all-star break is when I make my move!

It took me a ton of moves, and dropping most of my drafted players in the process, but I have a decent team now.

And I dunno who is doing it....but whoever you are, stop sending me trades for Gagne; you're not getting him.

I met a bunch of the Phoenix Coyotes yesterday while my daughter was in the hospital getting her tonsils out. They gave her some toys and stuff. I didn't see any mullets. Cujo touched me.

Wow have I fallen from grace, last time I looked at the page I was in 2nd place (had just fallen outta first).  Lack of need to check my f football page has led to me slacking off.  I'll have to correct that mistake.

Soo... congrats to Shockeye for actually winning this.

Methinks not many paid attention after they weren't required to check their football pool(s) on Yahoo.

Gotta say that I much prefered the head to head league. Head to head, you actually would have a chance to win a week or 2... seemed like if you got behind in this league, you were out pretty early.

The scoring system needs some serious tweaking as well. 3rd line centers who were good at faceoffs were MVPs. That is just so wrong!

The scoring system was my fault. I tweaked it a bit in the beginning, but yeah faceoffs were probably a bit high. I welcome input for next year.

This was my first foray into fantasy hockey, so I was clueless going in. Next year will be easier to get things evened out. It was fun, regardless, and I learned a lot  cool

I think I did fairly well for my first try at a fantasy league - I sat in second for the vast majority of the season, which is pretty good for me.
